Customs seize HK$430,000 worth of drugs, arrest one
Customs seized about 760 grams of methamphetamine with a value of about HK$430,000 at Hong Kong International Airport on Tuesday.
During customs clearance, officers found the batch of suspected methamphetamine concealed inside the underpants a man was wearing.
The 38-year-old, who arrived in Hong Kong from Uganda via Ethiopia, was then arrested. He has been charged with one count of trafficking in a dangerous drug and will appear at West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts on Thursday.
Customs believes the local demand for drugs will increase during the Lunar New Year holidays. The department will step up enforcement action to combat drug trafficking activities during the long holidays.
